If you're curious who this Bad Bunny fellow is, performing at the Super Bowl Sunday, take ten minutes and watch his Carpool segment with James Corden. Sweet, self-effacing, decent — no wonder MAGA doesn't like him, and prefers Kid Rock singing about raping children.

Of course Trump admitted he meant to send the grotesque racist video about the Obamas. Of course he refuses to apologize. As I've long said, for a congenital liar, he can sometimes be very candid. It's almost a positive trait, if he weren't so disgusting.

If you are looking for something constructive to do in the wake of the Orange Enormity's spreading a grotesque racist meme, let me suggest reading Michelle Obama's "Becoming." It's especially good to hear her read it herself on Audible.

“Becoming” elevates Michelle Obama to the pantheon of great American women
"Becoming" makes Michelle Obama a woman for the ages.

One tends to ignore most of Donald Trump's egregious actions. There are too many. But his recent amplifying of a racist meme about the Obamas is both beyond revolting and completely expected. He is, to quote Hunter S. Thompson about Nixon, "a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president."
